Clementine Vulgate, 1598
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1[Fili mi, si susceperis sermones meos, et mandata mea absconderis penes te:
1ʻE hoku foha, kapau te ke maʻu ʻa ʻeku ngaahi lea, mo fakafufū ʻiate koe ʻa ʻeku ngaahi fekau;
2ut audiat sapientiam auris tua, inclina cor tuum ad cognoscendam prudentiam.
2Koeʻuhi ke fakatokangaʻi ho telinga ki he poto, pea ke tokanga ai ho loto ki he faʻa fakakaukau;
3Si enim sapientiam invocaveris, et inclinaveris cor tuum prudentiæ;
3ʻIo, kapau te ke tangi ki he ʻilo, pea ke hiki hake ho leʻo ke maʻu ʻae fakakaukau:
4si quæsieris eam quasi pecuniam, et sicut thesauros effoderis illam:
4Kapau te ke kumi ki ai ʻo hangē ko e siliva, pea hakule ki ai ʻo hangē ko e koloa kuo fufū;
5tunc intelliges timorem Domini, et scientiam Dei invenies,
5Te ke toki ʻilo ai ʻae manavahē kia Sihova, pea maʻu ʻae ʻiloʻi ʻoe ʻOtua.
6quia Dominus dat sapientiam, et ex ore ejus prudentia et scientia.
6He ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ʻae poto: ʻoku haʻu mei hono fofonga ʻae ʻilo mo e fakakaukau.
7Custodiet rectorum salutem, et proteget gradientes simpliciter,
7ʻOku tokonaki ʻe ia ʻae poto ʻaonga maʻa e kakai māʻoniʻoni: ko e fakaū ia kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻaʻeva ʻi he angatonu.
8servans semitas justitiæ, et vias sanctorum custodiens.
8ʻOku ne tauhi ʻae hala ʻoe fakamaau; pea ʻoku ne maluʻi ʻae hala ʻo ʻene kakai māʻoniʻoni.
9Tunc intelliges justitiam, et judicium, et æquitatem, et omnem semitam bonam.]
9Pea te ke toki ʻilo ai ʻae māʻoniʻoni, mo e fakamaau, mo e fai totonu; ʻio, ʻae hala lelei kotoa pē.
10[Si intraverit sapientia cor tuum, et scientia animæ tuæ placuerit,
10ʻOka hū ʻae poto ki ho loto, pea mālie ʻae ʻilo ki ho laumālie;
11consilium custodiet te, et prudentia servabit te:
11ʻE fakamoʻui koe ʻe he faʻa fakakaukau, pea ʻe tauhi koe ʻe he poto:
12ut eruaris a via mala, et ab homine qui perversa loquitur;
12Ke fakamoʻui koe mei he hala ʻoe tangata kovi, mei he tangata ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa kovi;
13qui relinquunt iter rectum, et ambulant per vias tenebrosas;
13ʻAia ʻoku liʻaki ʻae hala ʻoe māʻoniʻoni, kae ʻalu ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻoe fakapoʻuli;
14qui lætantur cum malefecerint, et exsultant in rebus pessimis;
14ʻAia ʻoku fiefia ke fai kovi, pea ʻoku fiemālie ʻi he talangataʻa ʻae angahala;
15quorum viæ perversæ sunt, et infames gressus eorum.
15Pea ʻoku pikopiko hono ngaahi hala, pea kovi ʻa hono ngaahi ʻaluʻanga:
16Ut eruaris a muliere aliena, et ab extranea quæ mollit sermones suos,
16Ke fakamoʻui koe mei he fefine muli, ʻio, mei he muli ʻoku lea fakaoloolo;
17et relinquit ducem pubertatis suæ,
17ʻAia kuo ne liʻaki ʻae fakahinohino ʻi heʻene kei siʻi, pea kuo ne fakangalongaloʻi ʻae fuakava ʻa hono ʻOtua.
18et pacti Dei sui oblita est. Inclinata est enim ad mortem domus ejus, et ad inferos semitæ ipsius.
18He ʻoku tahifohifo hono fale ki he mate, pea mo hono ʻalunga ki he kakai mate.
19Omnes qui ingrediuntur ad eam non revertentur, nec apprehendent semitas vitæ.
19ʻOku ʻikai toe foki mai ha taha ʻoku ʻalu atu kiate ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke puke ʻekinautolu ki he ngaahi hala ʻoe moʻui.
20Ut ambules in via bona, et calles justorum custodias:
20Koeʻuhi ke ke ʻeveʻeva koe ʻi he hala ʻae kakai angalelei, pea ke maʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaluʻanga ʻoe māʻoniʻoni.
21qui enim recti sunt habitabunt in terra, et simplices permanebunt in ea;
21Koeʻuhi ʻe nofo ʻae angatonu ʻi he fonua, pea ʻe nofomaʻu ʻi ai ʻae haohaoa.
22impii vero de terra perdentur, et qui inique agunt auferentur ex ea.]
22Ka ʻe motuhi atu ʻae angahala mei he māmani, pea ʻe taʻaki fuʻu hake mei ai ʻae fai kovi.
